Third Voice Is COOLIO
1999-06-09 16:18:17
OK, I -KNOW- it's a totally evil privacy-invading brain sucker, but I LOVE this software. It's like MST3K for the WEB!
Third Voice is a crazy browser add-on a la Alexa that gloms onto your browser and doesn't let go. The deal is that you can put sticky notes on a Web page, and then read those notes when you get back later.
The COOL part is that you can read OTHER people's notes, too. You can put up a note on the CNN war coverage page that says, "What a crock of BULLHONKEY!!!!" and every other TV user can see it. I mean, HOW COOL IS THAT!?
The extra-super-cool feature is that only people who have 3rd Voice can see your notes. It's like those cool special alien glasses in "They Live"! Rowdy Roddy Piper's comin' to your house to make you install Third Voice!
OK, so, true, they're probably racking up metric tons of data on you as you cruise around, and the ph3ds will probably arrive at your door minutes after you write something derogatory on the IRS web site, but SCREW IT. Have some fun and DEFACE some INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY today!

We've had a lot of Jesus coverage lately here at the PDJ. But let's face it, we're not exactly cutting-edge in this subject area. Jesus has been making headlines for, oh, I guess it's a couple thousand years now. Jesus is a very strong brand. Jesus has a lot of mindshare. (More...)

It's not like I have a heroin problem, see. I'm just a self-indulgent brat who likes to live beyond her means. When I zip down to my corner Money Mart for a little cash-till-payday loan, I'm really not planning to spend it on drugs. I'll spend it on sushi. Seventy bucks of interest for a two-week $400 loan is perfectly reasonable, if you really need that hamachi. (More...)
